A truly moving & brave statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark: "The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." 💔😔

Irreversible tipping points in the climate system — like the melting of Arctic ice sheets or the wide-scale collapse of coral reefs — are closer than scientists previously believed.

"Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught, and the last stream poisoned, will the white man realize he cannot eat money."

A not insignificant number of humanity's problems could have been solved if someone had just stopped to consider whether they *should do* the thing that they *could do.*

There are kids on that campus who also survived the shooting at Stoneman Douglas. There are faculty on that campus who survived the last shooting at the FSU library in 2015.

Thinking of my 'Nole family today. 💛❤️ It doesn't have to be this way.

Proud to be from New Jersey. Thank you, Senator Booker.

I continue to be proud to be a member of the Georgetown Law community in light of its continued insistence upon adherence to, and respect for, the rule of law.

Anyone ever walked around Philadelphia and thought to themselves "why don't we buy all of these one-off parking lots, use two or three at most to put parking garages on them (mostly to avoid outrage) (& ofc w/ green roofs) and then turn the rest into parks/gardens? Bc I think about this a *lot*

Well today was an interesting day in the human experience.

May I ask why the Florida DMV bothers to have a phone number if they have no intention of ever picking up said phone?

@devincow.bsky.social the fact that you are here brings me the most joy I've had in weeks

My fellow Americans: there is still time to get off the fascism train. Please, for the love of God, get off the train.
